RING Dear Reader, Good morning from chilly Northern Italy. I was going to publish my Five Rude Predictions today. But events took over. I’ll save them for tomorrow. Meanwhile, this weekend was great for figuring out who was who. First, I’d like to send my condolences for the loss of the anti-war right. The anti-war right lived a short life, lasting only from February 24, 2022, to October 8, 2023. The baying for blood from the Republican right - and even from the left - has been breathtaking. Watch for this important change in your normie friends. I know I will. [Rude] Credit: [@jacksonhinklle]( In this Rude edition, I won’t rehash the incident. But I’ll point out the winners and losers. And boy, we’ve got plenty of both. The Losers The Palestinians Obviously. There’s nothing - and I mean nothing - that’ll steel the antipathy toward a people than the alleged rape, torture, and murder of innocent women. That’s right: the men, not so much. We understand men die in these situations. But we’re wired to wonder why women do. And to exact a toll on those who harm women. No, not every Palestinian is responsible for what happened. Only individuals act. But they’ll all be blamed and suffer for the acts of those individuals. What gets me is this: how can they be so goddamned stupid? Didn’t they think for a second: boy, the barn door is wide open… This is too easy… It must be a trap. According to [World Population Review]( the average Palestinian IQ is 77.69. After this sordid episode, I can’t believe their leaders’ IQs would be much higher. [Rude] Credit: Batman Begins, Warner Brothers The whole thing reminds me of Batman Begins. In the training scene, Ra’s Al Ghul tricks Bruce Wayne into attacking him on the ice, only for Bruce to fall through the ice. Benjamin Netanyahu This is from today’s [Haaretz]( editorial, Israel’s newspaper of record: In the past, Netanyahu marketed himself as a cautious leader who eschewed wars and multiple casualties on Israel’s side. After his victory in the last election, he replaced this caution with the policy of a “fully-right government,” with overt steps taken to annex the West Bank, to carry out ethnic cleansing in parts of the Oslo-defined Area C, including the Hebron Hills and the Jordan Valley. This also included a massive expansion of settlements and bolstering of the Jewish presence on Temple Mount, near the Al-Aqsa Mosque, as well as boasts of an impending peace deal with the Saudis in which the Palestinians would get nothing, with open talk of a “second Nakba” in his governing coalition. As expected, signs of an outbreak of hostilities began in the West Bank, where Palestinians started feeling the heavier hand of the Israeli occupier. Hamas exploited the opportunity in order to launch its surprise attack on Saturday. Above all, the danger looming over Israel in recent years has been fully realized. A prime minister indicted in three corruption cases cannot look after state affairs, as national interests will necessarily be subordinate to extricating him from a possible conviction and jail time. This was the reason for establishing this horrific coalition and the judicial coup advanced by Netanyahu, and for the enfeeblement of top army and intelligence officers, who were perceived as political opponents. The price was paid by the victims of the invasion in the Western Negev. RFK Jr. How to sink your possible third-party candidacy in one easy tweet: [Rude] Credit: [@RobertKennedyJr]( The race to jump into the Israeli bed from America is ridiculous. “But Israel is our ally,” you say? Ok, then, where has it been for the last 20 months? Trying not to piss off Russia. There are lots of Russian Israelis, you know. (Just because I don’t blame them doesn’t absolve them.) Nikki Haley It’s impossible to take this woman-child seriously. [RUDE] Credit: [@NikkiHaley]( No, Israel is not America. And finish them? Do you mean “kill them all?” This looks suspiciously like a call for genocide. Watching her speak is like watching Freaky Friday, except the daughter-in-her-mom’s body becomes a politician. Europe I got a great idea! Let’s let in 2,000,000 Muslim immigrants and then stick the Star of David on Brandenberg Gate! [Rude] Credit: [@Bundeskanzler]( And it’s not just him. It’s Rishi Sunak and Ursula von der Leyen, as well. Macron was much more intelligent. Express condolences and support, and leave it at that. An explosives-laden truck will crash through a Christmas market somewhere in Europe this upcoming season thanks to these imbeciles. Ukraine (and especially Zelensky) Who are ya? Who are ya? What a perfect opportunity to bury this lot on the back pages! Everyone who predicted a Ukraine win was wrong. And that’s a lot of people. Luckily, they have more important things to attend to, like pretending to care where all the money went. Allegedly, much of the munitions the Palestinians used were from… you guessed it… Ukraine. The Zelensky as Churchill trope will become a meme forthwith. Israeli Intelligence Whether it’s Mossad (external security) or Shin Bet (internal security), someone screwed the pooch badly. A sterling reputation lies in ruins. How could they just let the Palestinians in? [[Revealed!] New AI Opportunity Bigger Than The PC?]( [Click here to learn more]( Just imagine being able to turn back the clock to the 1980s – right as a new technology known as the PC was getting its start… Seeing the promise of the PC – and captivated by Microsoft’s technology – an early investor decides to put in $500 during the company’s IPO in 1986. As of today, that $500 investment would have turned into a fortune worth over $1.6 MILLION. I bring this up because we are at the dawn of a new innovation which could be even BIGGER than the PC.

[Click Here To Learn More]( The Winners Israeli Intelligence Whether it’s Mossad (external security) or Shin Bet (internal security), someone came up with a genius plan. A sterling reputation is further burnished. How could they know the Palestinians would walk through an open door and into the most obvious trap since James Bond went after the Lektor decoder in From Russia With Love? Israel Ukraine has aged like a fish. Israel is the hot, new thing in town. Get those Star of David flags on your profile. Yellow and blue are so 2022! [Rude] Anyone Who Wanted to Divert Attention Away from Ukraine Vlad Putin must be pissing himself laughing right now. The US has just given him Ukraine. The US will be down in the Holy Land while he hoovers up Ukrainian farmland. BlackRock will be one unhappy asset manager after all this. US Arms Dealers Today, we celebrate the F-35. It doesn’t rain in the desert, so pilots won’t have to eject nearly so much. Lockheed, Raytheon… fill your boots! [Rude] Credit: [@SallyMayweather]( Donald J. Trump Would you like some mean tweets with your world peace? Wrap Up As a “Leave Me the Hell Alone” Libertarian, I can think of a million things that need fixing. I’d rather fix those things than run off to a foreign land to fight a war. But there are truths and facts. The truth is the Holy Land matters to a great deal of people. The fact is that part of the Middle East is a worthless piece of dirt utterly devoid of resources. Should the economist in me sit in church? Or should the churchgoer sit in an economics class? Israel turning the West Bank into a parking lot is a sure thing. But at what cost? Maybe I’ll opt for the church first. All the best, [Sean Ring] Sean Ring

X (formerly Twitter): [@seaniechaos]( In Case You Missed It… A City Built By Losers [Sean Ring] SEAN
RING Good morning from an overcast Asti. I wish I could take credit for today’s headline. But that honor goes to Rick Rule, our featured speaker at the Paradigm Shift Conference in Las Vegas this past Tuesday. Rick remarked that while it was great to see so many people gather to better themselves, it was somewhat “ironic that we should do so in a city built by losers.” I damn near fell out of my seat laughing when he said that. I found Las Vegas more akin to Mos Eisley Cantina on Tatooine than a major American city. [Rude] When I relayed Rick’s quote to my friend and mentor Hunter Hastings of the [Economics for Business Podcast]( he said, “I love Vegas because it’s free market capitalism at its finest. And anyway, winners built it, but the losers financed it.” Fair enough, perhaps. In this Friday Rude, what happened in Vegas won’t stay in Vegas… because everyone was very well behaved indeed. [Bidenâs 2024 Presidential Run Doomed To Fail â Thanks To New Inflation Surge?]( Biden has given America its worst inflation crisis in over 43 years. But if you think the worst of inflation is over, think again… [A deadly new “Second Wave” of inflation is coming – one which could send the price of food, gasoline, housing and more skyrocketing much higher than they are today.]( Will this new crisis mean Biden’s 2024 Presidential run is doomed to fail? [Click here now to see my urgent warning.]( [Click Here To Learn More]( The Summit Speakers Our fearless leader and Executive Publisher, Matt Insley, kicked off the event with a few words about the current state of things and then handed it off to his speakers. Doug Hill, our Vice President of Publishing, also cheerfully introduced many of our speakers. Yours Truly I kicked off the summit with Five Rude Predictions for 2030. I’ll elaborate more on them in Monday’s Rude, but they are as follows: - Crypto destroys the Treaty of Westphalia.
- The US Military Industrial Complex suffers enormous losses.
- China’s Belt and Road Initiative will reshape global supply chains.
- Though the US Military Industrial Complex will suffer losses, buy PLTR.
- Global warming frees Russia, giving it warm water ports and a seat at the European table. There were some nodding heads, but I also got plenty of blowback. I welcome it; it’s great to hear contrasting opinions. And anyway, predicting things seven years out is a fool’s game. Anything can happen. I will revisit them each year to see if I’m even close! Zach Scheidt Zach gave a great speech on increasing your income by expanding your options against a falling dollar. There were some practical steps to take to protect your purchasing power. Zach talked about dividends and dividend stocks and reiterated his point during my interview with him. [Rude] On the Bellagio’s patio interviewing Zach Scheidt; Credit: Chris Harris By the way, Paradigm is relaunching its new YouTube channel. I will let you know when our first posts are uploaded. We’ve got in-depth interviews with Jim Rickards, Byron King, trend-following trader and author Alex Krainer, and economist and author Thorsten Polleit on their way. I’ve also interviewed all of the Summit’s speakers; those chats will be uploaded soon. Stay tuned! Alan Knuckman Options guru and my all-time all-time Alan Knuckman showed his “anti-trader” options-trading method. If you’d like to get into options but don’t want to risk much capital, I highly recommend you look at Alan’s and Dave Gonigam’s stuff on The Profit Wire. Byron King My friend and frequent Rude contributor Byron King was as entertaining and informative as ever. His talk on “From Rocks to Money…” was a treat. He elaborates on much of it during our interview. Jim Rickards Before talking to Jim, I thought part of the reason for the dollar rally was the lack of a new BRICS currency. The market seemed disappointed with the lack of an outcome from Johannesburg. Jim quickly disabused me of that notion. We’re still in the middle of a banking crisis, and dollar demand is way up. His speech on the BRICS and the long game Beijing and Moscow are playing was excellent. Rick Rule Rick gave us a great half-hour on a theme Bill Gross talked about years ago. Namely, his generation of investors was the luckiest regarding investing conditions. But what will the next ten years look like? A lot less benign than the previous forty. James Altucher Chessmaster, bestselling author, standup comedian, coder, and investor James Altucher reliably informs me that AI will not take over the world and kill us all. I suspected as much, but it’s great to be reassured by an authority on the subject. This true Renaissance Man delivered the goods in his speech, “Everything is Going to Hell… and Life is Great!” Ray Blanco I finally met Ray in person at this event, though we’ve spoken on the editorial calls for at least a year. Ray gave a fascinating talk on catalyst trading, which can give investors monstrous returns. His tech, biotech, and trading expertise is worth listening to and learning from. After the Speakers My friend and colleague Dave Gonigam hosted a Fireside Chat with Jim, Rick, and Byron before we sat at another session of our Whisky Bar. Once the Whisky Bar concluded, Paradigm subscribers and editors dived into the open bar until the lights went out. As editors, we’re privileged to have such a fantastic bunch of people reading our stuff. It was lovely to meet so many friendly faces. Finally, let me thank Lydia England and our tireless crew of Paradigm support staff, who are too numerous to name here. It’s worth noting Lydia and her team planned the entire event themselves without any outside help or consultants. For a scatterbrain like myself, it was more than impressive! Also, a special thanks to Armando Gayleard for taping all our interviews! Wrap Up Well, that’s a wrap from Vegas. The Summit was a well-organized event attended by many of our beloved subscribers. I look forward to our next event, whenever that may be. Have a wonderful weekend! All the best, [Sean Ring] Sean Ring
